Trailer of Steel

I think this looks really good, giving us more of a glimpse of the story of Clark Kent finding his place in our world. I like Kevin Costner's scenes so far in his role as Jonathan Kent, Clark's human father. A minor quibble with the trailer is the action scenes looked like they were cut together in a blender. I hope the sequences in the actual film are much easier on the eyes, more the Steven Spielberg/James Cameron school of action set piece choreography and editing that you can follow, rather than the Michael Bay approach of totally confusing and disorienting action scenes.

Superman should be an inspirational character; he does not solve all our problems but leads by example. We need him now more than ever.
